Chapter 69: The Underground Black Market

"Hello, what do I need if I want to sign up for the Colosseum to challenge the Steelback?" Stern took the other two to the ticket office at the Colosseum exit after watching the game and asked questions about signing up for the competition.

"Sir, if you want to sign up for the competition, please come with me" After the staff finished speaking, he stood up and led Stern and his party to a house on the side, at this time a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man was sitting in the house, "Boss, they said that they wanted to sign up to challenge the steelback beast, I brought them over", the staff walked out of the house after speaking.

The middle-aged man looked up at Stern and his group, Yulia couldn't see her face clearly with her cloak, his gaze stayed on Thea for a while, and then turned to Stern and said in a slightly dignified tone, "Young man, my name is West Henry, what do you call me?"

"Andy Stern," Stern replied, and Henry continued, The young man is good, since you want to sign up then I will tell you the rules first, we will get a reward of 2000 gold coins for the winning side of each sign up for the competition, and the losing side will be given a subsidy of 300 gold coins, but when you sign up, you have to pay a deposit of 100 gold coins to prevent you from changing your hexagram halfway, and the full amount will be refunded to you after the game, before signing up, we have to take a look at your Warcraft to do an evaluation, when will you have time to bring Warcraft over to show me?".

"Right now", Stern finished speaking, and with a wave of his right hand, a dark green goblin wearing clothes and pants, and a hat with a height of about one and a half meters appeared. Henry didn't think it was strange to watch Stern release the Warcraft, many rich people put the Warcraft in the Space Ring.

Henry put his hands behind his waist and circled around Avanti twice, "Master, what is he doing around me?" The strange person in front of him made Avanti feel very strange, so he asked Stern.

As soon as Avanti opened his mouth to speak, Henry suddenly stood on the spot, he had never seen a talking monster, after thinking for a while, he turned his head to Stern and said, "Young man, the beast fighting competition is not a joke, the steelback beast has won three consecutive victories, it is invincible on the field, you can no longer find a second one on this talking monster on this continent It is a rare species, but looking at its size and body is still too thin, I advise you not to let it participate in the competition" , he felt that the goblin looked too weak, so he really persuaded Stern to let him cancel his decision to challenge the Bristleback.

"Mr. West, it's been 50 years since my goblin mutated into a low-level demonic beast, and now it's in its prime, and I have faith in it," Stern said to West Henry without hesitation.

"Well, I've already reminded you, since you are so confident in it, I won't persuade you anymore, the steelback beast has already experienced a battle today, so you can't play the next game right away, usually you have to cultivate for at least half a month to a month before the next game, when the game starts, we have to ask for the opinion of the steelback beast owner to reply to you, it will take about a day or two, you go back today, and come here again the day after tomorrow, and then go through the formalities and pay the deposit, and I will also confirm the game with you." โ€ใ€‚

"Again, talking monsters are very rare on the mainland, don't let them go to the Colosseum to die in vain", after leaving the house, Henry's voice came from far away from the house, it seems that this West Henry is not bad, but Stern is determined not to change his mind because of his words.

After watching the game, the group returned to their accommodation, at this time Elena was washing some vegetables that they had eaten at night, and when they saw Stern and Yulia go back, their faces were immediately full of happy smiles, and Yulia called out intimately to Aunt Niang and stepped forward to help obediently.

It didn't take long for Tarot Stern to come home from a day's work, and as soon as he got home, he couldn't help but come and tell everyone about today's news, "There was really a strange thing today, the rampant thief actually sneaked into the house of the city defense commander, and stole a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and now he is wondering" The city defense commander and Tarot Stern are good friends, and after the two met today, they told Tarot about today's bad luck.

"Who would dare to steal from the house of the commander of the city defense army," Elena asked curiously.

"Who else is definitely the night thief Arthas, now the most famous thing in Cloud Dream City is Arthas, who else can he have?", Tarot Stern didn't want to answer, "But the commander of this city defense army, Lei Luo, is a brave and resourceful person, this time Arthas is probably going to be unlucky to provoke him", Tarot still knows his friend Lei Luo very well.

Even Tarot Stern mentions Alsace, and Stern can't help but become interested in Arthas, and he wants to meet the nocturnal thief who can't see the dragon.

The next morning, after breakfast, Stern went to the city guard registration office, where all the information about the crime was registered, and the information about the night thief was also recorded. Stern walked into the city defense building, walked straight towards the archives, and after coming to the archives, Stern directly took out two gold coins and put them on the table, "Sir, may I ask here the information on the cases related to the night thief?" Seeing that Stern put two gold coins on the table, the staff was very enthusiastic and found the file of the night thief.

Stern opened the file and looked at it, sure enough, it is not an ordinary thief who will leave his name every time he commits a crime, and found through the file record that Alsace has stolen valuables and gold and silver jewelry worth 50,000 gold coins, many things are rare on the mainland, such as crystal glass cups, agate kettles and the famous Daimler oil painting The top of the mountain, especially the top of the mountain, a very famous oil painting hangs on the wall of Stern's house There is a replica, these things are difficult to sell in the market, and the only place that can be sold is the underground black marketใ€‚

There is an underground black market in the south of Yunmeng City, many thieves will sell some shady things there, and of course, some mercenaries will also take special items to the underground black market to sell after killing people and stealing goods, so as a high-level mercenary who has done countless tasks, it is not a strange thing for Stern to know the existence of the underground black market.

"Sir, I'm done reading it, give it to you", Stern put the finished file back into the file bag and handed it to the staff, then got up and left the archives of the city defense camp, the staff in the archives saw Stern's figure disappear and quickly hid two gold coins in his pocket, and he was very happy, he only had two gold coins a month, and this time he really made a lot of money.

The underground black market is not very far from the city defense camp, Stern walked towards the south of the city, he wanted to go to the underground black market over there to find clues, it is like the slums on the edge of the rich areas in some prosperous cities on the earth, densely populated, disorderly, and full of crimes, it is the last place that the city defense army wants to set foot in, and only in such a place can they get rid of those shady items.

After about an hour's walk, Stern saw a large expanse of old houses, and there was an underground black market.
